Ocean City Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Assn. holds 39th Annual Trade Show

The Ocean City Convention Center was jam packed with restaurateurs, hoteliers, suppliers, manufacturers, brewers, distillers, chefs - and those who love them. Top Chef contestant and Washington, D.C. celebrity toque Mike Isabella made a special appearance to a capacity crowd March 3. March 4 was no different, as acres of convention center parkiang and neighboring lots quickly filled up.

From batter to mouth in about 60 seconds. Your very own donut-making machine for just a little over six grand.

If it’s Italian, you can buy it from these guys - right there at the show.

Sort of makes you thirsty, doesn’t it?

Just had to show you this cool little car. The Italian ice was good, too.

Seaford Ice. A chip off the old block. (Sorry, I just had to say it.)

Delaware’s own Kirby and Holloway Provision Co. was well-represented in the savory pork department.

This guy just seemed kind of stiff. I suspect it was his first trade show.
